Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | 10. Commitments and Contingencies Lease Agreements The Company’s corporate headquarters is located at 700 North Brand Boulevard, Suite 220, Glendale, California 91203. The Company leases its corporate headquarters from EOP-700 North Brand, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”). On October 14, 2014, the lease was amended by a Second Amendment. The Second Amendment relocates the leased premises from Suite No. 220 to Suite Nos. 1400, 1425 and 1450, which collectively include 16,484 rentable square feet (the “Headquarters”). The Headquarters are expected to be improved with an allowance of up to $659,360, provided by the Landlord, for construction and installation of equipment for the Headquarters. Before the improved Headquarters are available, the Company will also use Suite No. 240 on a temporary basis. The Second Amendment also extends the term of the lease to be for approximately six years after the Company begins operations in the Headquarters and increases the Company’s initial security deposit. The Second Amendment sets the Headquarters base rent at $37,913.20 per month for the first year and schedules annual increases in base rent each year until the final rental year, which is capped at $43,957.33 per month. However, the base rent will be abated by up to $228,049.27 subject to other terms of the lease. AMM leases the first and second floors of a building located at 506 West Valley Boulevard, San Gabriel, California, 91776 (”SCHC Premises”) from Numen, LLC, a California limited liability company ( “Numen”) pursuant to a Lease dated July 22, 2014 (the “SCHC Lease”). AMM and Numen entered into the SCHC Lease, AMM leases the SCHC Premises, which consists of 8,766 rentable square feet, for a term of ten years, subject to a downward adjustment to seven years upon the occurrence of certain events during the first five years of the term. The base rent for the SCHC Lease is $32,872.50 per month, which is adjusted each year based upon the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index for the Los Angeles/Orange/Riverside regions. Regulatory Matters Laws and regulations governing the Medicare and Medicaid programs are complex and subject to interpretation. Compliance with such laws and regulations can be subject to future government review and interpretation as well as significant regulatory action including fines, penalties, and exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs. The Company believes that it is in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. Legal On May 16, 2014, Lakeside Medical Group, Inc. and Regal Medical Group, Inc., two independent physician associations who compete with the Company in the greater Los Angeles area, filed an action against the Company and two affiliates of the Company, Maverick Medical Group, Inc. and ApolloMed Hospitalists, a Medical Corporation, in Los Angeles County Superior Court. The complaint alleged that the Company and its two affiliates made misrepresentations and engaged in other acts in order to improperly solicit physicians and patient-enrollees from Plaintiffs. The Complaint sought compensatory and punitive damages. On June 30, 2014, the Company and its affiliates filed a motion requesting the Court to stay the court proceeding and order the parties to arbitrate this dispute subject to existing arbitration agreements. On August 11, 2014, the Plaintiffs filed a request for dismissal without prejudice of the action. On August 12, 2014, the Plaintiffs served the Company and its affiliates with Demands for Arbitration before Judicial Arbitration Mediation Services in Los Angeles. The Company is currently examining the merits of the claims to be arbitrated, and it is too early to state whether the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable or remote, or to estimate the potential loss if the outcome should be negative. The Company is aware that punitive damages previously sought in the court proceeding are not available in arbitration. The Company and its affiliates are preparing a defense to the allegations and the Company intends to vigorously defend the action. On August 28, 2014, Lakeside Medical Group, Inc. and Regal Medical Group, Inc., filed a similar lawsuit against Warren Hosseinion, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Dr. Hosseinion is defending the action and is currently being indemnified by the Company subject to the terms of an indemnification agreement and the Company’s charter. On September 9, 2014, Dr. Hosseinion filed a motion requesting the Court to stay the court proceeding and, pursuant to existing arbitration agreements, order the parties to arbitrate the dispute as part of the pending arbitration proceedings before JAMS (as discussed above). On October 29, 2014, the Plaintiffs filed a request for dismissal without prejudice of the action. On November 13, 2014, Plaintiffs served Dr. Hosseinion with Demands for Arbitration before Judicial Arbitration Mediation Services in Los Angeles, and on November 19, 2014, the parties agreed to consolidate the two proceedings against Dr. Hosseinion with the two existing proceedings against the Company and its affiliates. The Company is currently examining the merits of the claims to be arbitrated, and it is too early to state whether the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable or remote, or to estimate the potential loss if the outcome should be negative. The Company is aware that punitive damages previously sought in the court proceeding are not available in arbitration. In the ordinary course of the Company’s business, the Company becomes involved in pending and threatened legal actions and proceedings, most of which involve claims of medical malpractice related to medical services provided by the Company’s affiliated hospitalists. The Company may also become subject to other lawsuits which could involve significant claims and/or significant defense costs. The Company believes, based upon the Company’s review of pending actions and proceedings, that the outcome of such legal actions and proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. The outcome of such actions and proceedings, however, cannot be predicted with certainty and an unfavorable resolution of one or more of them could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows in a future period. Liability Insurance The Company believes that the Company’s insurance coverage is appropriate based upon the Company’s claims experience and the nature and risks of the Company’s business. In addition to the known incidents that have resulted in the assertion of claims, the Company cannot be certain that the Company’s insurance coverage will be adequate to cover liabilities arising out of claims asserted against the Company, the Company’s affiliated professional organizations or the Company’s affiliated hospitalists in the future where the outcomes of such claims are unfavorable. The Company believes that the ultimate resolution of all pending claims, including liabilities in excess of the Company’s insurance coverage, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows; however, there can be no assurance that future claims will not have such a material adverse effect on the Company’s business. Although the Company currently maintains liability insurance policies on a claims-made basis, which are intended to cover malpractice liability and certain other claims, the coverage must be renewed annually, and may not continue to be available to the Company in future years at acceptable costs, and on favorable terms.
